"The fact is that Post is still very profitable, but the
government has given them permission to reduce delivery days,
reduce the level of service provided to the community, and
cut jobs up and down the country," said Mr Gallagher.

"It's really disappointing that we have a government more
interested in building new roads than investing in jobs and
regional development."

EPMU members at NZ Post would be entitled to redundancy pay
under their collective agreement.
